Social Services

Medical social services are intended to help patient and family understand and cope with the logistics of daily life with an advanced illness or medical condition such as diabetes, COPD, and heart failure. Social workers work with patients to assess the full range of needs in order to help them determine the proper services and resources to enhance their quality of life. In the home healthcare industry, medical social workers (MSWs) are a vital part of the improvement and development of a patient's health. Our medical social services assess and remedy social, environmental, and emotional factors which relate to the patient's health problems and utilize all family and community resources for adjustments and rehabilitation. MSWs specialize in public health, geriatric, palliative, and inpatient medical or mental health care.
